Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FCP + NAB?

I agree with your sentiments. I rarely attend NAB and only really pay
attention because of the perpetuation of traditional product release
cycles in this industry.

I just want to point out that because of NAB's impending arrival, we
are trained (pavlovically?) to discus such subjects. I personally,
could not care less as to the time of year Apple disseminates
information about their plans. What I am referring to is the life of
the product. Sure, it gets the job done but, FCP 7 could be better and
in very similar ways that version 6 and 5 could have been better.
After gaining so much momentum in the last 7-9 years, it feels like
it's no longer an interesting proposition for them.

Profits are good and I am happy to help Apple succeed in the consumer
space. I need someone to help me succeed in my industry as well. It
may not be them anymore.
